Summary: Collection of 8 classic mystery films. Bluebeard: The authorities have been on the hunt for a serial killer, an artist who strangles his models when they fail to meet his standards of perfection. The death kiss: An actor and notorious womanizer is killed when a prop gun's fake bullets are replaced with real ones. Dressed to kill: Sherlock Holmes sets out to unravel the case of a convict locked away in a British prison who has made music boxes out of stolen engraving plates from the Bank of England. Torture ship: A well-intentioned doctor takes a group of convicts out to sea so he can privately conduct experiments. Murder by television: A murdered professor has recently completed a new invention--the television. One of the suspects is found stabbed to death--but is he really dead or is it just a ruse to throw authorities off course? Terror by night: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are on a mission to protect a priceless diamond from falling into the clutches of a master of disguise, Colonel Moran. State Department file 649: A U.S. Foreign Service agent becomes trapped in an isolated North China village by a scheming warlord who is threatening to execute his American hostages. A study in scarlet: Coded messages and calling-card clues keep Sherlock Holmes on his toes as he deduces his way to the truth behind a number of mysterious deaths.
